The Pledge Page #6

...I don't believe you.

Wizards don't exist.

No, Jerry, you're wrong.

And I can prove it.

You can, huh?

He gave me these.

They're yummy.

But you can't have them, Jerry.

He said he'd give me more tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Where?

At the picnic grounds.

Aren't they cute?

My itty-bitty, baby porcupines.

The Wizard said they come

from a land far, far away.

Jerry, can I go see

The Wizard tomorrow?

Well, he seems like such

a nice wizard.

I don't see why not.

But let's keep this our secret.

Thank you, Jerry.

Strom, how is your position?

I'm in position across the river.

We have a clear view of the girl

at the picnic ground.

You're out of position.

- What?

- You should be over closer.

Jerry, we got a whole SWAT team out

here doing you a big favor.

Just stay where you are.

Snipers, recheck your fields of fire.

- Jerry?

- He's coming.

What's the matter?

I'm fine, Stan.

Want some tea?

You're very thirsty today, aren't you?

Oliver!

Oliver!

Where did you hide them chocolates?

Oh, there's some porcupines.

I'm just gonna go down

to the water for a minute.

Is this guy really coming?

Jerry's coming towards you now.

- I got him. What the hell's he doing?

- Jesus Christ, I have no idea.

This may have been a mistake.

Hold him, I'll be right there.

He had big, big eggs and....

So he went up to the eggs,

and it started shaking.

I don't know.

What's going on?

- Jerry?

- Okay, guys. Hold your positions.

We're out of position.

Jerry, I got eight guys out here,

hung up, doing you a big favor.

You don't know what you're f***ing

dealing with here.

You understand? You don't know

what you're dealing with here.

This guy is real, and I know it.

There's no Wizard, Jerry.

We got our man a year and a half ago.

Toby Wadenah.

You're making this real

difficult for me.

What, Stan?

We're calling it quits.

We're out of here.

It's over. That's it.

Okay, Stan.

You do what you gotta do.

I'll do what I gotta do.

Just when you leave,

don't compromise this operation.

You understand me?

Come on.

He's staying, so do your best

not to engage the girl.

Okay, guys. We are pulling out.

I want you to know

I have to tell the mother.

You should've known Jerry 20

years ago.

He was a good cop.

He was a great cop.

Just, it's....

It's just sad.

He's become a drunk and a clown.

F***ing clown.

Chrissy!

Oh, my God, baby!

Oh, my God!

- Mommy, no.

- No, let's go. No!

No, Mommy.

Chrissy, stop it! Let's go.

Jerry!

- Get in the car.

- I want my doll-

Damn it, go!

Get in the car, now.

I want my bike!

Get in the car!

You f***ing bastard, Jerry.

How could you do it to Chrissy?

Why would you do it to her?

She's 8 years old, Jerry!

She's only 8 years old!

She could have been killed!

F***ing...

...bastard!

F***ing crazy.

Why were you pretending...

...that you loved her and we were

starting this life together?

F***ing bastard.

You're f***ing crazy.

Oh, boy. This was a bad one.

Jesus!

Poor bastard.

He's coming.

He's coming.

He's coming.

He's coming.

I know it.

I know it.

She said it.

She said it.

She did.
